Hello,

To update my web site I wrote a script in wich I have overriden
ftplib.FTP to print a dot when a block of bytes is sent. Here is my
dot_FTP class :

class dot_FTP(ftplib.FTP):
    def storbinary(self, cmd, fp, blocksize=8192):
        ''' Store a file in binary mode.'''
        self.voidcmd('TYPE I')
        conn = self.transfercmd(cmd)
        while 1:
            buf = fp.read(blocksize)
            if not buf: break
            conn.send(buf)
            sys.stdout.write('.')
            sys.stdout.flush()
        conn.close()
        return self.voidresp()

I just took the code of storbinary in ftplib.py and added the wanted
output.
